Open Stack

What does fog do? Is it just a client to the Neutron HTTP API? If so, it
should not have broken like that because the API has remained pretty
stable. If it's a deployment tool, then I could see that because the
configuration options to tend to suffer quite a bit of churn as tools used
by the reference implementation evolve.

I agree that these changes are an unpleasant experience for the end users,
but that's what the deprecation timeline is for. This feature won't break
in L, it will just result in deprecation warnings. If we get feedback from
users that this serves an important use case that can't be addressed
another way, we can always stop the deprecation at that point.
